Wow, what a great image. The page also has some
pretty interesting facts on the city.

Beijing has been one of the most important cities in the world for more than three thousand years—it first was named a capital city in 1057 B.C. This image of Beijing was taken from the Space Shuttle five years ago (in late April-early May 1998), and is one of the best photographs of the city taken from orbit.
